Historical Note
The Cloisters has a rich history dating from its foundation in 1086 as a
Benedictine Priory by Geoffrey de Mandeville in memory of his first wife.
The Priory was the centre of village life for over 450 years until it was closed
down in 1536 during the dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. As a
daughter cell of Westminster Abbey the monks here were more fortunate
than most.
The monastic estate passed to John Lovelace in 1545 and this family
became Lords of the Manor. They built a mansion called Ladye Place
(demolished in the 19th Century) recalling the original foundation, in the
grounds of the Priory (on the southern edge of the present lawn). The 3rd
Lord John Lovelace played an important role in the Glorious or Bloodless
Revolution of 1688. He and his fellow Lords plotted to restore the Protestant
monarch William of Orange to the English throne. It is said that his lordly
friends used the water gateway in the Tudor wall to the river to approach
the property in secret for their conspiratorial meetings in the crypt (now in a
neighbouring garden).
More recently, in April 1931 Queen Mary visited these renowned gardens
and watched a game of tennis sitting on the stone seat (now by the large
lawn) which is still known as ‘Queen Mary’s seat’. The original 20 acre
monastic domain was still called “Paradise” until 1948 when it was divided
into separate properties.
During the Second World War, Mr Sorrel Strausler, the designer of the
amphibious tank used in the D-Day landings, reportedly used the moat to
test its prototype.
Description
The Cloisters is one of the principal houses in this much sought after village.
The monks’ refectory, which has stood for approaching a thousand years,
is used today as a spectacular entertaining space, retaining its medieval
character and historic resonance.
The comfortable accommodation is arranged over two floors. The triple
aspect drawing room has delightful views over a spacious lawn, and its wide
French windows give onto the terrace.
Set at the extreme northern end of the Hurley High Street, (rarely for a Thames
village a no-through-road) in the heart of the medieval part of the village of
Hurley, yet enjoying privacy and seclusion on the southern bank of the River
Thames between Oxford and London. Hurley is a thriving community with its
own tennis club, cricket club, village fête and regatta, and it also has a hotel
(dating back to medieval times as an Inn) and a pub. The village shop caters
for day to day needs and is within 200 yards level walk from the front door,
although the house is exceptionally well-secluded by the cloister garth.

Gardens & Grounds
The property is approached from the rear by a private gated drive leading
to ample parking. Two stone steps rise up to the avenue of Irish yew which
diide the gardens near the house from the meadows by the tennis court
and the monks’ fish pond. Mown paths lead towards a timber bridge over
the moat, bordered by mellow Tudor walls which surround the western
and northern sides of the property. Through a doorway lies the riverside
garden, with river frontage and mooring, and an octagonal summerhouse
mentioned in Pevsner. The front entrance is approached through a stone
archway into the tranquil cloister garth.
The garden was designed by previous occupiers for easy maintenance while
the present owners have added trees, shrubs, bulbs and planting to give
year round fragrance and colour.
